From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Nigel Mansell just missed out on provisional pole position for today's IndyCar race in Vancouver. Robby Gordon got the better of Mansell in a back-and-forth struggle, clocking a best lap of 54.570secs. Mansell was three-tenths of a second slower. 'I was jockeying with Robby Gordon the whole time,' Mansell explained, adding: 'He timed his best run perfectly at the end.' The IndyCar series points leader Al Unser Jr did not participate in the qualifying session because of a suspected case of food poisoning.
